Sometimes fixing a bumpy lawn is as simple as just filling the disturbed soil back in and topping up with a good topsoil (hopefully weed-free). If they’re small the existing grass will grow over the hole. Larger spots should be seeded or even patched with sod.
Likewise, what causes lawn lumps?
There are several common reasons why your lawn is lumpy. These include heavy foot traffic in certain areas (which causes soil compaction), damage from tires and heavy equipment, lumps from tools, toys, pet waste, and other organic matter getting buried in the lawn, and even improper mowing.
In this manner, should I roll my bumpy lawn?
The answer is a resounding “NO”, and there is a very good reason for it. Rolling lawns is still unfortunately a lawn care practice that many homeowners use to try to level out bumpy areas on their property.
How do you flatten an uneven lawn?
The lazy way is to just fill in the lumps, just like that. Get some soil from elsewhere in the garden, a cane to check the levels, and then fill in the gaps. Leave it a few days then top it up when it sinks. You could then sow with fresh seed, or you could just let the grass grow up and through.
How do I fix my lawn depression?
The general fix is to fill the area—good fill choices include soil, compost or rocks—and leave it slightly humped, to accommodate natural settling. Or, you can compact it by machine or with a hand tamper.
